HPR4342: How I use Git to blog on the web and gopherspace
This show has been flagged as Clean by the host.
First, I create a Git repository some place on the server. This
is the Git repo that's going to be populated with your content,
but it doesn't have to be in a world-viewable location on your
server. Instead, you can place this anywhere, and then use a Git
hook or a cronjob to copy files from it to a world-viewable
directory. I don't cover that here. I refer to this location as
the staging directory.
Next, create a bare repository on your server. In its hooks
directory, create a shell script called post-receive:
#!/usr/bin/bash
#
while read oldrev newrev refname
do
BR=`git rev-parse --symbolic --abbrev-ref $refname`
if [ "$BR" == "master" ]; then
WEB_DIR="/my/staging/dir"
export GIT_DIR="$WEB_DIR/.git"
pushd $WEB_DIR > /dev/null
git pull
popd > /dev/null
fi
done
Now when you push to your bare repository, you are triggering the
post-receive script to run, which in turn triggers a git pull in
your staging directory.
Once your staging directory contains the content you want to
distribute, you can copy them to live directories, or you could
make your staging directory live (remember to exclude the .git
directory though), or whatever you want.
For gopher, I create a file listing by date using a shell
script:
#!/usr/bin/bash
SED=/usr/bin/sed
DIR_BASE=/my/live/dir
DIR_LIVE=blog
DIR_STAGING=staging
DATE=${DATE:-`date --rfc-3339=date`}
for POST in `find "$DIR_BASE"/"$DIR_STAGING" \
-type f -name "item.md" -exec grep -Hl "$DATE" {} \;`;
do
POSTDIR=`dirname "$POST"`
cp "$POST" "$DIR_BASE"/"$DIR_LIVE"/`basename $POSTDIR`.txt
echo -e 0Latest'\t'../"$DIR_LIVE"/`basename $POSTDIR`.txt > /tmp/updater.tmp
echo -e 0"$DATE" `basename $POSTDIR`'\t'../"$DIR_LIVE"/`basename $POSTDIR`.txt \
>> /tmp/updater.tmp
"${SED}" -i "/0Latest/ r /tmp/updater.tmp" "$DIR_BASE"/date/gophermap
"${SED}" -i '0,/0Latest/{/0Latest/d;}' "$DIR_BASE"/date/gophermap
/usr/bin/rm /tmp/updater.tmp
done
